L’Église…

“Saint-Julien-le-Pauvre, in full Église Saint-Julien-le-Pauvre (French for Church of Saint Julian the Poor), is a Melkite Greek Catholic parish church in Paris, France, and one of the city's oldest religious buildings. Built in Romanesque style during the 13th century, it is situated in the 5th arrondissement, on the Left Bank of the Seine River. The church was dedicated to two medieval French saints of the same name: Julian of Le Mans and a figure from the region of Dauphiné."The poor" is said to originate from Julian of Le Mans, whose dedication to the cause of the poor was considered exemplary.” I’ve walked by this church several times on previous trips, but had never been inside before. I’m glad I did this time. It has such a quiet and peaceful beauty.
